We are not thoroughly familiar with all the nice provisions and ad justments of the blooming dispen sary law of South Carolina, but from its outward manifestations we take it to be the most elastic, flexible, and self-adjustable law that ever ema nated from the brains of any as sembly of law makers. It seems that it is left with a little coterie of half a dozen men to manip ulate this law—to stretch it, to squeeze it, to blow it up with a goose quill until it is big enough to fit the biggest place ot 1 occasion, and then by varying degrees of compression to adapt it to all the places and oc casions of varying sizes down to th» least and tnost insignificant, as neatly as melted metal ever filled and fitted the figures in a mould Under such skillful manipulations, the law expands to fit the great Ex position in Charleston and kindly brings under its egis the people Qf the ballon and of the world. Wht should the people of South Carolina trouble themselves to exhibit the products of their fields, forests, and mines, of their foundries, workshops, and factories, when this great prod uct of legislative genius and cf mod ern philanthropy, will be there in all its glory, blooming and blossoming like a night-blooming cereus, and multiplying its branches like a ban yuu tree—ill for the benefit of tin- weak, weary, and thirsty pilgrims who have come from near and far to lay their offerings at the shrine of progress. Toe feature will be a marked on even in the history of great world expositions. None of thes - so far a- we know has ever directly exhibited any evidence of moral progress. The sole aim of these expositii*tis has been to gather from the four quar tens of the globe the evidences of hu man skill and industry and the varied productions of soil and climate, and thereby to stimulate the spirit of enterprise, to quicken the pulses of trade and to encourage man to ex plore still more deeply the hidden re sources of Iht* earth. It was reserved for the little State of South Carolina to step up to u higher plane and show to the whole world that the life is more than meat and the body more tnan raiment, and that the same means which are used to promote material progress may also be used to promote moral and social reform. Nay, also, that these very means may be used at the same time to promote the physical com fort of the spectators, while stimu lating tbeir mental and moral aspira tions. We are proud of South Carolina. £he Is a born leader of States. If this daring exhibition of her spirit ual aspirations does not stimulate her sister states to follow her exam ple. so much the worse for her sisters. She will do what she did for a time in the da)* of seeee“h>n—si and alone, NOT KM AND GOMMKNTH. >nce The opening of ' he great exposition in Chsrleston is n< er st hand and the railrmulh «r*- p . j ing lo ■«» a genet ous part tuwar ! h i during people to ■ see it.

It is a disease that luxuriates in cold weather and we suppose it would confine its operations entirely to the arctic regions if it could find its favorite food there, which is human fUst). But this article being rather scarce in those regions and polar bears being to tough for its digestive powers, it takes up its abode further south and operates in wint *r. It has already raised its head in several places in the State and the proba bility is it will extend its visitations to others. The only safe-guard against its ravages is vaccination and this should be attended to whatever else is neglected. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The feature of material progress which now most nearly concerns every man, woman, and child in the country, is that of good roads. Good roads over the country will transform a wilderness into a garden, and also stimulate the towns to a still more rapid growth. They will double the value of farm lands and bring their product in vastly increased quanti ties to the towns. The one article of wood, we believe, is selling in Gaff ney at $1 00 a cord, and this is be low the price in Spartanburg or Greenville. Ten years ago it was bought here at 00 cents a chrd. It , rises every winter because the de mand increases and the supply de creases, yet there are vast forests of timber not many miles from Gaffney, which would come into market if we could vnly have good roads. Hund reds and thousands of dollars’ worth of other commodities which the town needs and which the country th-ows away, would come, if it were not worth them to haul them. Town and country should pull together for good roads. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ At last, according to a London dis patch, England and the United States have come to an agreement in regard to the isthmian canal, and that agree ment has been formulated into a treaty. According to the terms of this maty the canal shall be free to all vessels both in peace and in war. pro vided, however that in time of war belligerent vessels shall not embark nor disembark troops while passing through, shall not stop except in case of necessity or distress, and then shall remain only so long as may be absolutely necessary. The plants, buildings, and all works necessary to the construction and operation of the canal shall enjoy complete immunity from attack from belligerents and from all acts calculated to impair the usefulness of the canal. In addition to these stipulations England gener ously concedes that Uncle Ham may foot all the bills for construction and operation, either with his ow n or bor rowed money. This is the one great world enterprise of the twentieth cen tury and Uncle Ham is learning how to undertake great things and bow to bring about tbeir accomplishment.
